SimpleCarousel allows for a carousel or slideshow of images to rotate, or be rotate-able by clicking, on a page.
Add "SimpleCarousel" plugin and add media attachments for items in the slideshow. There are a number of customizable options, including carousel height, duration of image on screen, looping, carousel title. One drawback of this feature is that individual item titles are not displayed nor can they be clicked on to open the full record for the item, including full metadata.

Please note, Item Showcase is customizable in the Marriott Library Default theme but the varying settings will be implemented site wide - not just for one page within an exhibit. Custom options include Full Height (Default), Cropped Height, and Boxed. Full Height will display images at their full pixel height. Cropped Height will crop images over 380 pixels. Images under 380 pixels will appear at their full height so this option is ideal for tall images. If you have images under 380 pixels tall that you want to display as the same size, you may want to resize the images in Adobe Photoshop before uploading the item to OmekaS. Boxed will resize all images to the same size and add a border to each image.

The Universal Viewer plugin can be used for images and text documents. For images, it is ideal for high resolution images that would benefit from a pan and zoom feature. The fronted display has a side bar that, when clicked, will show all of the item's metadata.
